I’m A Celeb’s Josie Gibson breaks down in tears for the first time as she quits trial after being left ‘petrified’ by huge spiders crawling near her face
Josie Gibson broke down in tears for the first time on Thursday’s installment of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! as she quit the Barbaric Barbershop trial.
The This Morning star was surrounded by huge spiders by her face – after she was voted to receive the eight-legged critter by the public.
All the camp’s celebrities are due to take part in a trial over the next two days – and first up were Fred, Marvin, Frankie, Josie and Danielle.
The campmates heads were enclosed with critters surrounding them as they had to use their mouths to unscrew the stars.
Josie put in a valiant effort to get the stars but soon began swearing in fright and had to quit the trial – after Nella Rose and Nigel Farage quit their respective challenges previously.

Josie quit the ‘barbaric barbershop trial’ after being left ‘petrified’ by huge spiders
In the end she yelled: ‘Ah, get me out of here!’ and fell to the floor crying as she took her head out of the box.
A very panicked Josie said: ‘Sorry, oh my god’ as Ant and Dec asked if she was alright.
After the end of the trial she admitted: ‘I’m petrified of spiders. I was hoping I might be able to get rid of that fear but because they’re coming from you from behind, I don’t know what it was.’
‘I am ok. I’ve got to get over this! It’s not going to harm me. You can’t help it, if you’re frightened or scared of something.’
Social media users immediately rushed to support Josie after she quit the terrifying trial and confronted one of her biggest fears.
One said: ‘As a fellow SEVERE arachnophobe, Josie was so brave to stay in there for as long as she did. Nothing to be ashamed of, I could never.’
Viewers noted she was ‘genuinely petrified’ as another added: ‘I would have done the same as Josie ngl I’m terrified of spiders.
‘She’s a champ for lasting how long she did !! The team did amazing !! 4/10 better than nothing.’

At the start of the trial, Ant explained: ‘This is the Barbaric Barbershop. You’ll each take a seat in one of the barbershop chairs, placing your head in the head box above.

‘You’ll need to use only your mouth and tongue to remove the star pieces off the threads in the head box. The aim of the game is simple, to use the star pieces to form a star shape and place it in your barbershop chair.’
Dec added: ‘As you can see, each star has been split into two unique pieces. You need to find the two pieces that go together to form your star. However, all the pieces have been jumbled up.
‘So the pieces in your box might not be for your stars. So you’re going to have to pass them between each other to complete the stars. And, be careful, if you drop a piece, it’s gone.’
He added: ‘You have got 10 minutes to form 10 stars.’
Ant continued: ‘You can stop the Trial at any point by saying ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ If one of you does… then the other people might not be able to form their stars. So you really do have to work as a team on this one.’
Revealing the result of the public vote, Ant said: ‘Before we begin, we need to know what the public has voted to join you in there. Fred, let’s start with you, you will be joined by snakes.
‘Marvin, you will be joined by snakes as well. Frankie, you’ll be joined by cockroaches. Josie, you will be joined by spiders. Danielle, you will be joined by rats.’
As they finished the Trial, Dec said: ‘Four out of a possible 10 then. Not bad going considering at 9 and a half minutes in you had one and you ended up with four!’
